City Launches “Fare Free Sundays” Pilot Program on Santa Fe Trails
The City of Santa Fe is launching a special pilot program on the Santa Fe Trails transit system that will allow all riders to use bus services free of charge on Sundays from June 7 through Sept. 6.
The “Fare Free Sundays” initiative is designed to encourage public transit use, improve accessibility to community events and local businesses, and provide residents and visitors with an affordable transportation option throughout the summer months.
Under the pilot program, passengers will not be required to pay fares on any Santa Fe Trails fixed-route buses operating on Sundays during the program period.
Food Benefits and Support
The City of Santa Fe is deeply concerned about food insecurity and potential disruptions to SNAP. More than 20,000 Santa Fe County residents rely on SNAP for daily nutrition. We’re grateful the State and the Governor are stepping up at this critical moment to meet an immediate $30 million funding gap.
While cities are not funded or structured to replace federal programs like SNAP, we are actively supporting residents’ health and well-being. We are coordinating with Santa Fe County and community partners on contingency plans, with special attention to our most vulnerable neighbors.

Spring Roadwork in Santa Fe
Spring has arrived in Santa Fe, and with the warmer weather comes construction season. These mild spring conditions provide the ideal opportunity for road crews and Public Works teams to complete important work across the city.
As the oldest capital city in the United States, Santa Fe’s streets include many historic roadways. Maintaining and improving these roads often requires more than routine maintenance. Throughout the season, crews will be working on repairs and improvements in neighborhoods across the city.
This work may require temporary traffic interruptions, detours, and lane closures. The City is committed to minimizing impacts and keeping the community informed throughout construction.
